Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 2 mac.

Application filed August 26, 1918. Serial No. 251,514.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, MORDECAI WILLIAM RICHARD and EMANUEL CARLSON, both citizens of the United States, andresidents, respectively, of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New -readily attached to a-tube, flask, or vessel,

or any delivery means connected thereto to serve as a closure therefor, and adapted to be operated so as to discharge the contents thereof in the form of a'thin jet or spray.

Receptacles have been made, such as the ethyl chlorid container in which provision is made for obtaining a thin spray of the liquid. This has been accomplished by forming the receptacle with a capillary neck, the capillary member being integral with the flask. This construction has, of course, many disadvantages. Thus, should the capillary become clogged the whole flask becomes useless and must be discarded. Similarly if the neck of the flask should be broken the whole receptacle can no longer be used. More particularly therefore, our object is to provide a separate attachment which may be applied to any form of tube flask, vessel or delivery means connected thereto whereby the liquid contained therein may be discharged in the form of a thin jet or spray and in which construction provision is made for an interchangeable capillary which may be easily removed for cleaning or replaced byanother, without in any way mutilating or disturbing the container or its contents. a

A further object of our invention is to provide a closure for a container which shall be simple in construction eflicie'nt in its operation, and cheap to manufacture.

Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear from the detailed description and the features of novelty will be particularly pointed out in the claims.

of, we have shown an embodiment of our invention applied to a container such as an ethyl chlorid receptacle. The drawing however, is merely illustrative of one simple application of ourinvention and it will be readily understood that our invention has the more general application hereinbefore set forth.

In the drawing, I

Figure 1 is an elevational View of a glass container with an embodiment of our invention attached thereto shown in section,

Fig. 2 is a detailed sectional view out along line 2-2 of Fig. l, and

Fig. 3 is a broken away elevation showing adapted for containers made of metal or other like suitable material.

on to the nipple as will be readily understood. Within this tube 13 is removably held a separate capillary member 15 held in place and pressed down by the collar or cap 16 providedwith an opening 17 against the gasket 18. This collar may have its inner surface threaded as at '19 for the threaded upper end 19 of the tube.

It will be clear from the description thus far ven that we have provided a device for disch arging "containers in the form of a thin jet or spray comprising an attaching member, such as the tube 13, 'which may be readily fitted to any delivery means and which is further provided with a separate capillary member removably held in place therein. To remove my discharge device one needs simply to pull the tube ofi' the nipple or other delivery means, and to remove 1 the capillary one needs only to unscrew the collar or cap 16, as will now be clear.

-It is desirable in devices of this character to provide means for automatically closing the container when not in use. To this en we provide further automatic closing means such as a cap having sealing means such as a disk of rubber, cork or other such suitable material, 21. A thumb lever 22 is secured at one end as at 23 to the ca and is pivoted to the tube 13 by means suc as the ears 24 and the pin 25. A'spring member 26 is provided to keep the cap 20 normally closed against the opening in the collar 16.

In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the tube 13 is threaded as 'at 26 for the threaded nipple 27 of a metal container. Modifications will readily occur to any one skilled in the art whereby our invention may be applied to any other container or delivery means than that shown in the drawing. Thus for a hose delivery connection to the washer held in said attaching member in receptacle containing the fluid a glass tube- I may be provided for connecting tube 13 to the hose or the hose may be made to fit dimay be rectly over or into our attaching tube. We, therefore, do not wish to limit ourselves to the, constructipn shown in the drawing, since many variations and modifications thereof readily made within the scope of our invention. 1

We claim: 1. A device for in a fine jet or spray tion with delivery discharging a container comprising in combinameans extending from the container, an attaching member adapted to be connected to said delivery means, a

- washer held in .said attaching member in registry with said delivery means, a separate capillary member removably held in said attaching member in registry with said washer and pressed thereagainst by retaining means movable on said attaching member. i

2. A device. for discharging a container in a fine jet or spray comprisingin combination with delivery means extending. from the container, an attaching member adapted to be connected to said, delivery means, a

registry with said delivery means, a separate capillary member removably held in said attaching member inregistry with said Washer and pressed thereagainst by retaining means removable on said attaching member and a closure for said capillary for normally sealing the latter.

3. The combination with the nipple of a flask', of a tube which may he slipped over said nipple, a washer held in said tube over the mouth of the flask, and a capillary removably held in said tube over said washer in registry therewith, and pressed down thereagainst by perforated retaining means removably mounted on said tube;

l. A device for discharging a container in a fine jet or spray comprising in combina tion with delivery means extending from said container,'a tube adapted to be connected to said delivery means, a perforated sealing member in said tube disposed over the mouth of said delivery means, a capillaryheld in said tube over said sealing member in operative relation thereto, and a perforated collar disposed over said capillary and threaded on the free end of said tube, adapted to keep said capillary in position to press the same into contact with said seal ing means.

5. *The combination with the nipple of a flask having a mouth of normal bore, of a tube which may and a washer held 1n said tube over said bore, and a capillary held over said washer be slipped over the nippleagainst said washer by a perforated collar threaded on said tube.

' Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York this 19th day of August, A. D.- 1918.
